An argument that qualitative representations—symbolic representations that carve
continuous phenomena into meaningful units—are central to human cognition. In this book …

We present a cognitively plausible novel framework capable of learning the grounding in
visual semantics and the grammar of natural language commands given to a robot in a table …
